Sales Detail
Ormeau Hills has an estimated 4,858 residents, up from 4,521 at the 2021 Census — a change of 337 people, or 7.5%. Growth has averaged 2.0% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 43.0% of that increase. That puts 565 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining regional ABS demographic releases with newly validated addresses post-dating the Census, the suburb of Ormeau Hills has an estimated headcount of roughly 4,858 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 337 people (7.5%) compared to the 4,521 people recorded during the 2021 Census. Such growth is determined from an estimated resident population of 4,827 identified by AreaSearch through the ABS June 2025 ERP update alongside 71 validated new addresses registered following the Census date. Consequently, the suburb of Ormeau Hills maintains a population density of 564 persons per square kilometer, preserving ample living area per resident and accommodating future residential expansion.
Across the previous ten years, the suburb of Ormeau Hills achieved steady expansion with a 5.5% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the broader SA3 area. Natural increase served as the primary contributor to demographic gains, generating roughly 43.0% of recent additions, while overseas migration and interstate migration also registered positive inflows. SA2 demographic forecasts utilized by AreaSearch originate from the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia series using 2022 as the base year. In instances where SA2 boundaries lack coverage or extend past 2032, figures incorporate the Queensland State Government SA2 series published in 2023 relying on 2021 figures. Because these state figures omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportionate weighting based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (utilizing 2022 figures) across respective age groups. Future outlooks point toward demographic growth exceeding the national regional median, with aggregated SA2 figures anticipating the suburb of Ormeau Hills to expand by 661 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 13.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
57 new dwellings have been approved in Ormeau Hills over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 1.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
AreaSearch assessment of ABS residential construction approvals across statistical boundaries shows that Ormeau Hills averages approximately 11 new dwellings sanctioned annually, totaling an estimated 57 homes over the prior 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 9 approved during FY-25 to date. Because an average of 13.9 new residents per year were added for each completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction falls well short of housing demand, which generally drives up property values and heightens buyer competition, with typical new residential construction costs averaging $497,000 in line with wider regional norms.
Concurrently, commercial building approvals registered $85,000 this financial year, reflecting subdued commercial development. In comparison to Rest of Qld, residential building volumes in Ormeau Hills are considerably subdued, trailing the per capita regional norm by 82.0%. Although construction has picked up momentum in recent periods, this limited supply of new dwellings typically reinforces buyer interest and supports pricing across established stock. Building rates also sit below the national standard, pointing to an established residential landscape alongside potential development limitations. Approvals consist of 86.0% standalone homes and 14.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the neighborhood's traditional low-density profile centered around spacious family living. The ratio of an estimated 506 people per approved dwelling underscores the locality's restrained development setting. Looking forward, the population of Ormeau Hills is projected to increase by 630 residents through to 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures. Although local building volumes align with baseline demographic projections, incoming buyers may encounter elevated market competition as the community expands.

2,795 residents of Ormeau Hills are employed, from a labour force of 2,852. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 79.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,785, about 78% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Ormeau Hills features a capable labour pool characterized by strong representation within the construction sector, an unemployment rate standing at only 2.0%, and estimated annual jobs growth of 2.4% according to AreaSearch statistical modeling. By March 2026, employed locals numbered 2,795, while the local jobless rate sits 2.0% below the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld, and workforce engagement is exceptionally robust at 79.0% against 64.2% in Regional Qld. Census data revealed that a modest 15.3% of workers operated from home, though historical Covid-19 restrictions should be factored into this figure.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Local representation is especially pronounced in manufacturing, where employment concentration is 1.7 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.2% of the workforce compared to the broader regional benchmark of 4.5%. Comparing Census working population counts against resident counts suggests that this predominantly residential district provides limited employment within its own borders. An examination of combined SALM and ABS statistical data by AreaSearch reveals that local employment increased by 2.4% over the 12-month period alongside an identical 2.4% expansion in the labour force, keeping joblessness stable. Over the same span, Regional Qld saw employment lift by 0.1% and the labour force rise by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in Ormeau Hills. These five and ten-year industry trajectories have been mapped to the local employment profile. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industry trajectories vary widely. Extrapolating these industry trends across the local workforce structure indicates Ormeau Hills could see employment gains of 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 71 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,521 at the 2021 Census → 4,858 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to Aug 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL32235). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
